Other resources...
Drill/test tools: We strongly recommend using a question pool drill and practice test tool. There are various websites and apps (some free, some with a nominal fee and good study materials/references).
See the ReadMeFirst for more info. A few prospects:
hamstudy.com (or ham.study)
qrz.com
aa9pw.com
Books: There are many good books and study guides “out there” by various authors including ARRL, Gordon West and others.
KB6NU Study Guides (Used to be free, now available for purchase) - Another take on the question pool with explanations along with the questions. Many find this format with background material an aid to their understanding and success. (In class we use only the Q&A and discuss the explanations interactively.)
